A More Troubling Picture of Sea Level Rise Is Coming into View

Scientists have uncovered a "blind spot" in the research on rising seas, revealing that tens of millions of people thought safe from coastal flooding are at risk of inundation. Across much of the world, sea levels are higher than previously assumed and land is sinking faster.

A catastrophic climate event is upon us. Here is why you’ve heard so little about it

Scientists say a crucial Atlantic system is set to collapse. But the billionaire death cult that steers humanity’s destiny just doesn’t do existential crises, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Hundreds of studies have missed how much the #oceans are rising
Out of 385 peer-reviewed studies published from 2009 to 2025, around 99% incorrectly estimated #ocean height, leading to #sealevel approximations that were off by as much as a century of projected #sealevelrise.
They found that the studies underestimated coastal sea level height by an average of 24 to 27 centimeters (about 10in), depending on the specific geoid used.

Hundreds of studies have missed how much the oceans are rising

A widely used method to calculate sea level rise may have missed up to a century of change, so the risks could hit home for millions sooner than thought.

Global glacier mass change in 2025 - Nature Reviews Earth & Environment

Glaciers lost 408 ± 132 Gt of mass during the hydrological year 2025, equivalent to 1.1 ± 0.4 mm sea-level rise. Since 1975, glacier mass loss has totalled 9,583 ± 1,211 Gt, equivalent to 26.4 ± 3.3 mm of sea-level rise, with six of the highest mass-loss years on record occurring in the past seven years.
